1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hana´ni against Ba´asha, saying,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jerobo´am, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3 behold, I will take away the posterity of Ba´asha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jerobo´am the son of Nebat.
4 Him that dieth of Ba´asha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
